Use it for nearly everything I do in the studio
Well actually I do not own a whole SSL console (def don't have that kind of money...) but I have a channel strip unit with 2 channels from the original console. I use it for recording but also for summing stems or entire songs during my mix sessions. I use its eq and comp a lot, but even if you bypass everything and just track something after sending it through this beauty you will enrich it significantly. Can't say anything less than "amazing" for SSL. It's just great
Because this console has the best warm analog sound :)
the best, huh? they sound pretty good and all, but THE BEST? What about good 'ol Rupert Neve? Api? Trident's fabulous A Range boards? The SSL 4000E through Gs are my favorite SSLs, but you trade some 'arm analog sound' as you call it for functionality and amazing routing capabilities. The 4000 boards were designed for film mixing, you know, so surround is really their area of expertise. I don't do 5.1. I am not trying to hard time you, but it just felt like an uninformed opinion here.
